Answer:
It is difficult, if not impossible, to heat a solid above its melting point because the heat that ... in a solid are packed in a regular structure that is characteristic of that particular substance.

If an element contains 8 electrons, then there would be 6 electrons that will be placed in the 2nd valence shell. Each shell in an atom can only take up a fixed number of electrons. For the first shell, only two electrons can be found. For the second shell, it can hold up to 8 electrons. However, for this case only six electrons can be found since the others are found in the first shell.
I believe an atom. may be wrong, science is not my strong suit
Explanation:
Na represents the neutral element; Sodium. Because of it's atomic number of 11, It has 11 electrons.
Na+ on the other hand represents a cation. The sodium ion has lost an electron, hence the total number of electrons it has = 10.
The K and L shells each have maximum number of electrons they can accommodate. This is given by the formular; 2n^2
K shell = 2 (1)^2 = 2 electrons
L shell = 2 (2)^2 = 8 electrons
Seeing as Na+ has 10 electrons, It completely filled the K and L shells ( 2 + 8 = 10 )
Answer:
The forces that hold atoms together are the electrical force and the strong force, which is stronger than the electrical force.
